Maca (DayZ) 769 Posted June 10, 2012 Its up to yourself how you play the game, all you need is to set a few goals for yourself. Its all about the survival and if you think getting the best gear is going to keep you safe?? Think again, thats the point of this sandbox anything and everything is going to happen.Maybe you should try:Hunting "Not players" or players??Go after snipers who camp spawn-pointsHelp other survivors out "If they dont shoot you on sight"If you start getting bored and play with a group try lonewolf and see can you take on the land of DayZ....... Its in Alpha just love it and have fun :heart: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kophka 109 Posted June 10, 2012 If you ask me it is the other way around actually.Too much good gear and too much ammunition. If you find a rusty rifle' date=' you should be so damn excited about it, as if you've just found a treasure chest full of gold. Even more if it still shoots straight!This game ain't about farming the best gear, it is about surviving in my eyes. Boring? By far not. Try the role play approach the next time you get in game. You may be surprised what this game can offer. (And especially when you find like minded people)Codus[/quote']Exactly this. I can completely understand that this is a game, and loot re-spawn is an important part of it, but it really is immersion breaking to camp a deer stand (or any other building) clearing the loot waiting for the magical respawn event to happen. It just doesn't make much sense. Once a building has been looted, it should stay looted. Maybe there should only be respawns once per hour. It's not like there are 1000's of people on each server, so it could be workable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maizel 1 Posted June 10, 2012 Seriously.of all the problems this game has at the moment, you stopped playing because you couldn't find a shiny gun? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
reuben5150 83 Posted June 10, 2012 I was looking for the M14 from the first day i played- after about 80 hours i found it in a deerstand, so what ?These types of weapons should be very rare. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nicraM 137 Posted June 10, 2012 HAHA... I have kept a char alive for maybe two days, at most. And, I have have found some tier 4 and many tier 3 weapons. DMR, M4a4SD CCO, Satchel charges, NVG, Ranger finders, m14 with aimpoint, M4a3Camo CCO, etc. You just suck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

darkseed79 0 Posted June 10, 2012 sounds like you just suck. cya later.You just suck.Since when is pure chance about sucking or not? You can get lucky and find NVG's on the first try, or you could look forever without finding one. Geez, kids today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thornton4life@gmail.com 0 Posted June 10, 2012 I expect professional test drivers think after two weeks, "You mean I only get to drive it round a track until its on sale in a year. This thing doesn't even have a radio, GPS or leather seats yet. Bollocks, I'm off to drive my Honda on a REAL road!" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

silenced (DayZ) 5 Posted June 10, 2012 I once found one NVG in the NW airfield, I died 10 minutes later, shit happens.I once found GPS, and died 5 minutes later ... killed someone after respawn and re-obtained a GPS + Range Finder, nice new start.I once had a DMR with 8 Mags, but got killed due to my own stupidity.I once had GPS + NVG, went to the NW one and found the M4 Holo, I died right after I left the airfield, got killed by some guy.Well, shit happens. Gear isn't everything, a good shot with any gun right into the head is 'game over', no matter what gear the opponent has. Nothing is more fun than killing someone possessing 'everything' with a nice shot into the head from a Makarov. Often you got nothing to lose, but everything to win.These are the moments to remember, a nice shoot out somewhere and you're the last one standing and looting, and suddenly you go up from 'poor guy' to 'rich bitch', just to be the 'poor guy' again 10 minutes later. That's what's so much fun in this mod. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
prominentalex 76 Posted June 10, 2012 I really wish loot was a lot rarer. I find so many guns & ammo it's ridiculous. The harder they make the game, the more people will have to work together and in my opinion, you'd probably see less pvp and more trying to survive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If nobody would need anything he other guy has it would not be worth going PvP.Its not rocket science.Even now the single best source for equipment are tents/vehicles and other players.The single best source for vehicles are "hidden" ones.

EvilFurryOne (DayZ) 2 Posted June 11, 2012 I love the randomness of the game. Had a group of 3 and we ended the game session near a deer stand, just before logging out I checked it and M14.. Happy panda face. Next day was first to log in, check the stand again, just some ammo, wait for friends who log on 5 minutes later, they check the stand again and more happy panda faces: group now has two m14'sYesterday I was running with a new char for few hours before I found a backpack bigger than my coyote. The game just teased me with the czech vest pouch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seraosha 3 Posted June 11, 2012 Not to jump on the bandwagon, but Ive found gps, bino, map, ak74 kobra, DMR, tent and a glock.All on the same guy!Stop hunting loot and start hunting players. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chibigoat 59 Posted June 11, 2012 found a DMR and m24 in the same barracks both with spawn rates under .30 percent sounds like you just suck. cya later.Lol dude, I think you're retarded. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
f4cksteam 0 Posted June 15, 2012 >still ignoring the retard posts, so not much to reply toAnd yes, as I said, I killed a bunch of players on the NW airfield... not a place you normal run around with 0 gear. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mitritch 4 Posted June 15, 2012 Dunno what is you problem. Login to low population server, go to NWAF (you can still meet very dangerous people there though :)) and search both north and south barracks for some nice loot.I for example found M4A1 Holo with M203 attached on the first try using this approach, right after I lost all my gear in the ocean due to clothing bug. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
